Nigerian music superstar Burna Boy has once again shown why he’s not just a Grammy-winning trailblazer but also a solid supporter of rising talent. In a recent Instagram Story post, Burna gave a glowing cosign to BNXN’s latest single Captain, and it’s got fans talking.
Quoting the lyrics, Burna wrote:
“Like GIANT… Like BABY GIANT”,
a playful and powerful endorsement referencing his own moniker “African Giant” while giving BNXN his flowers as the next in line.
The post instantly created buzz across social media, with fans excited to see one of Afrobeats’ biggest exports publicly back a younger artist who’s consistently proving himself.
BNXN, formerly known as Buju, released Captain to much acclaim. The track highlights his signature mix of introspective writing, smooth vocals, and effortlessly catchy melodies. With Burna’s nod of approval, Captain is expected to enjoy even more traction among fans and tastemakers alike.
Burna Boy’s cosign continues a growing trend of top-tier Nigerian artists actively supporting the next generation, a gesture that not only lifts emerging stars but helps to sustain the unity and longevity of the Afrobeats movement.
For BNXN, this is more than just an IG mention. It’s a stamp of recognition from one of the genre’s biggest global voices, and a sign that Captain is more than just another hit. It’s a statement.
If you haven’t listened yet, Captain is out now on all streaming platforms. And with this kind of backing, it’s one you don’t want to sleep on.
